Chapter 223: The Arrival

Chen Mo carefully sensed the connection between the Lord of the Blood Sea and the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate; currently, the New World and the Xuantian World are not truly connected.

Therefore, no matter who it is, anyone wishing to reach the New World must descend through the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate.

The Lord of the Blood Sea descended to another world by means of the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate, so she already possessed a portion of the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate's power within her body.

It was also by borrowing this power that the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate could lock onto her position and summon her back again.

However, as Chen Mo carefully inspects the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate now, he cannot perceive the existence of the Lord of the Blood Sea.

She is not suffering a crisis; Chen Mo can be certain that she should still be alive.

Yet she no longer exists, having vanished strangely from this world.

But the power she possessed remains, and has not returned to the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate, which is why Chen Mo can be certain that she is likely still alive.

Yet beyond this, Chen Mo can no longer be certain of anything; the Lord of the Blood Sea disappeared in an extremely bizarre manner, and despite searching the heavens and the earth, he cannot discover her whereabouts.

Chen Mo masters the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, and uses the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, combined with the power of the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate, to perceive more carefully.

The Myriad Phenomena Law flows before his eyes, and all the scenes within this world constantly shift before him.

But he does not have much time to waste here now; after delivering the message, he immediately sets off to leave.

The region she headed toward during this trip to the world for training must be very vast.

Furthermore, there is one more point to consider, which is whether he could forcibly break open this secret realm.

Above and below, Chen Mo never found a trace of the Lord of the Blood Sea to further investigate.

Taking Heaven as father and Earth as mother, the communion of Heaven and Earth gives birth to intelligence, hence they are called the Spirit Race.

The laws condensed, forming a Golden Light Talisman, and Chen Mo inscribed everything regarding the other Heavenly Court Fragment and the countermeasures they had prepared into the Golden Light Talisman.

He did not find the specific location of the Lord of the Blood Sea, but he sensed her existence within an inexplicable space.

It was cut off from the current world by a powerful being using great magic; no one among the powerful beings of this era could accomplish this, not even he himself could do it.

Otherwise, an ordinary secret realm could never block the perception of the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate.

Moreover, the powerful being who left behind this secret realm is not a powerful being of the Human Race.

Yet the Lord of the Blood Sea is ultimately still inside; if Chen Mo forcibly breaks open the secret realm, she might meet with an accident.

He then threw it forward, and the talisman instantly vanished into the secret realm before him.

Even though the secret realm had been submerged by the Mirage Sea for an unknown length of time, it itself had not been affected in any way.

Chen Mo can perceive that this secret realm has a faint resistance toward him.

Some of these regions were once severely eroded by the Mirage Sea, and now that the Mirage Sea Water has receded, they have emerged once again.

He did not rashly break into it, because this space was constructed very intricately.

He began to search for all the Blessed Lands and certain more special spaces within this world.

Conversely, if he does nothing, the Lord of the Blood Sea might actually be safer.

Chen Mo can perceive that the Lord of the Blood Sea should be within this space, or even if she is not, she used this space to reach another region.

The means used to arrange this secret realm are also not the Human Race methods he is familiar with.

And the powerful being who opened this secret realm has great strength; even in ancient times, they would definitely be a top-tier Great Ability.

And as the Lord of the Blood Sea is of the Spirit Race, she can sense the call of this secret realm to her.

Facing this secret realm, Chen Mo is currently quite at a loss.

The regions originally submerged by the Mirage Sea have re-emerged, and she must have also come here to cultivate.

The secret realm before him should have been set up by some Spirit Race Great Ability of the ancient era, intended for the use of later generations of cultivators.

This information is transmitted via the Heavenly Law, and the Lord of the Blood Sea will certainly be able to receive it.

Given all these circumstances, a deduction has already been born in his heart.

Even with his strength, it would be somewhat difficult to forcibly break open this secret realm.

Strictly speaking, the Spirit Race does not count as a single race, but is a general term for all living beings born from the nourishment of heaven and earth.

Chen Mo ponders briefly, using his own Myriad Phenomena Power to connect with the surrounding Heavenly Law.

It is just that Chen Mo is not sure when she will receive it, or if she will be able to reply to him upon receiving it.

Even if a powerful Mirage Sea creature truly descends, hiding in that Great Ability's secret realm is definitely much safer than heading to the Xuantian World to deal with it.

The Lord of the Blood Sea is not of the Human Race; strictly speaking, she counts as the Spirit Race.

The Lord of the Blood Sea was formed from the transformation of the Blood Sea, so even looking at the entire Spirit Race, her origins are absolutely top-tier.

It is just that this ancient Great Ability was not of the Human Race, so this secret realm is not open to the Human Race.

Chen Mo searches at high speed and indeed discovers some clues.

This space is very profound and has now completely fallen into a sealed state.

The so-called Spirit Race are living beings born from the nourishment of heaven and earth and favored by heaven and earth.

These are all unknown variables.

Thus, she came to this secret realm for training; this secret realm was laid out by an ancient Great Ability.

After all, this secret realm was opened by an ancient Great Ability; although he does not know that Great Ability's cultivation level, looking at these heaven-reaching and earth-shattering means, he understands that they are extraordinary.

This space, or rather this secret realm, was definitely left behind by a powerful being from many eras ago.

Previously, dealing with his own faith matters had already consumed much of his time, and combined with searching the heavens and the earth, the time for practicing the array is now not far off.

Chen Mo quickly returns to the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm; the grand array, which previously only had a prototype, now shows initial signs of form.

Three hundred and sixty-five Innate Martial Artists are scattered like stars across the entire Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.

These people are not together, but each person's aura echoes with the others; at a rough glance, they look like scattered sand.

But as long as one senses carefully, one can perceive that as soon as the array begins to operate, the momentum and power of these three hundred and sixty-five people can instantly connect into one.

In addition to these Innate Martial Artists, many top-tier factions of the Xuantian World have also brought out many rare resources and various array disks to expand the array's range of influence and connected power as much as possible.

These things, together with the many Innate Martial Artists, form the foundation of the array.

Above these three hundred and sixty-five people are thirty-six Heaven-Man Martial Artists, each of whom connects with Heaven and Earth to serve as an Array Eye.

The surging power of Heaven and Earth flows like water, gathering here from the outside; furthermore, the most important thing is the Heavenly Law.

The thirty-six Heaven-Man Martial Artists join forces, and with the aid of the array base's power, it is sufficient to influence the entire Xuantian World.

Currently, the array has already drawn the power of the Heavenly Law from a radius of over a million miles into the array.

This is still the scene before the array is fully operational; one can imagine that once it is completely activated, the range it affects will inevitably be even broader.

In order to deal with the potential crisis, the Xuantian World and the Heavenly Palace have indeed made full preparations.

In reality, whether it is Jiang Wanliu or Shui Qianqiu, or other experts in the Xuantian World who know the specific situation.

None of them are not rejoicing in their hearts, grateful that Chen Mo possesses the Heavenly Court Fragment, allowing them to learn of the incoming other Heavenly Court Fragment.

Only in this way could they prepare in advance, rather than having another Heavenly Court Fragment arrive suddenly while they were at a loss.

If that were truly the case, the situation would be the worst, and they would not even have a chance to respond.

Even if they could barely resolve it in the end, the price paid would be immense.

But now that they have made full preparations, even if they ultimately fail, they have done their best.

If this matter does not succeed, it is fate, which cannot be changed by human effort.

"Fellow Daoist Chen." Shui Qianqiu walked up and spoke with a laugh, leading Chen Mo into the void to sit in a pavilion.

"We must wait a moment longer; once all the array inspections are completed, we can begin the drill."

He smiled and poured a cup of clear tea for Chen Mo, then immediately asked, "I wonder how much longer until the other Heavenly Court Fragment arrives?"

"There should be over twenty days left, though I cannot be more specific; the other Heavenly Court Fragment is still accelerating at this moment, though it has slowed somewhat."

Chen Mo took the teacup and spoke slowly, looking toward the array not far away.

Many Qi Refiners at the Golden Core and Infant Transformation Realm were building the array under the leadership of the Spirit Severing cultivator Jiang Wanliu.

Except for Jiang Wanliu, the remaining cultivators all had pale complexions and bloodshot eyes, a sign that their divine sense power had been pushed to the limit and had not rested for a long time.

To set up a top-tier array in a short time, and to do so while exhausting most of the Xuantian World's accumulations, they had to maximize the power of this array as much as possible.

This was by no means an easy task; even for these Infant Transformation and Golden Core cultivators, it was exhausting.

However, the other Heavenly Court Fragment would arrive before long; it was like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's head, descending every second.

No matter how exhausted they were, the crowd dared not slacken, and all were setting up the array at the fastest speed.

After drinking a cup of tea in the pavilion, Chen Mo began to meditate and practice, the power of his Small World Method beginning to circulate gradually within his body.

Although it had not yet fully begun to circulate, it could allow him to break through to the Myriad Phenomena Third Heaven realm.

However, with his aptitude, as long as he spent the effort to practice slowly, he would sooner or later be able to break through to the Myriad Phenomena Third Heaven.

After a day of stable practice, Chen Mo was awakened by Shui Qianqiu.

The power of the array was gradually beginning to circulate from the bottom up; Innate Martial Artists connected with the power of Heaven and Earth, and Heaven-Man experts received these powers, triggering the Heavenly Law.

Chen Mo, along with Bai Yuxia and Shui Qianqiu, as the true main controllers of the array, bore these powers.

In an instant, the Xuantian World shook.

Countless powers of Heaven and Earth, like a tsunami, continuously gathered toward the Heavenly Palace.

Many unaware martial artists and commoners, seeing this scene, could not help but feel their minds sway, wanting to hide.

And countless savage beasts and demonic beasts in the deep mountains, sensing the terror of this power, hid in their nests trembling, not daring to look up at the sky.

Many regions near the Heavenly Palace were even temporarily turned into lands devoid of spiritual energy, as all the power of Heaven and Earth there was drawn into the Heavenly Palace.

Chen Mo felt wave after wave of power added to his body; with every gesture, he could not only mobilize the power of his own Small World but also mobilize the power of the Xuantian World.

"Boom!" Crisp sounds arrived; he looked up.

The originally clear and bright sky suddenly revealed the Zhou Tian Star Constellation; stars that should have appeared at night were now emitting brilliant starlight.

Streams of starlight fell like waterfalls from the sky; Chen Mo reached out to gently guide them, and thousands of stars swirled around him.

The power of the stars was pure and vast; of course, Chen Mo understood that the Xuantian World did not possess the Zhou Tian Star Constellation.

The star phenomena that appeared now were merely evolved from Star Law.

Physical stars, or Star Gods, certainly existed during the Ancient Heavenly Court period as the righteous gods of the heavens.

At that time, the starlight received by the endless great worlds, including the Ancient Heaven and Earth, was all emitted by the star officials of the Heavenly Court.

However, as of today, there are no stars in the Xuantian World, but there is a portion of Star Law.

These powers of law combined with Heaven and Earth to evolve into the stars filling the sky.

Including the two stars of Taiyin and Taiyang, they were actually all evolved in this way.

Without star officials, without physical bodies, they were all evolved from pure power of law.

This was also a matter of no choice; the Xuantian World is too weak to be called a world.

In reality, if divided according to the methods left by the Ancient Heavenly Court, whether it be the Xuantian World or the Cangxuan World, even if the three worlds are connected today.

Together, they can only be counted as a Blessed Land, not even a Small World.

It is only because the Mirage Sea Catastrophe descended and other regions were eroded by the Mirage Sea that the existing Human Race can only live in such secret realms.

It is good enough to survive; as for other requirements, they can only be temporarily abandoned.

Although the Xuantian World has no real stars, the blessing of the power of Star Law is not weak.

Chen Mo connected these powers of Heaven and Earth with the power of his own Small World; the power he could mobilize with every gesture was far greater than before.

Carefully sensing the mystery of the array's power, Chen Mo began to select his own stars.

There was no need to hesitate; he directly chose the Po Jun star as his main star among the stars filling the sky.

Only the three stars of Po Jun, Tan Lang, and Qi Sha could serve as his main stars; the power he could mobilize by using them would naturally display an boundless aura of slaughter, and its power could be called the strongest.

Chen Mo could choose the Tan Lang star, but Bai Yuxia and Shui Qianqiu could not.

Both of them practiced True Qi, and in terms of physical strength, they were far inferior to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo could fight recklessly without regard for anything; even if experts of the same realm could break through his external defenses, it would be very difficult to truly damage his physical body.

Bai Yuxia and Shui Qianqiu had to consider their own safety, and furthermore, the cultivation methods they practiced were not compatible with these three killing stars.

The main star Shui Qianqiu chose was named the Heavenly Secret Star, which was indeed compatible with the cultivation method he practiced.

Bai Yuxia chose the Lunar Star as her main star; as one of the two stars of Yin and Yang, the Lunar Star contained not only the Star Law but also the Yin Law.

The Yin Law lies in concealment, nourishing all things silently.

The cultivation method Shui Qianqiu practiced was partially compatible with it.

Both were about staying hidden; they would not strike, but once they did, they would astonish everyone.

The three of them each chose their main stars, said no more, and with great tacit understanding, unleashed their own power.

Chen Mo mobilized the Myriad Phenomena Power of heaven and earth; before he even struck, the entire world was vibrating and trembling.

Countless powers of laws shone in mutual brilliance, resonating with him from afar.

Chen Mo could perceive that the power he was currently mobilizing was more than ten times stronger than when he was the main array anchor previously.

Shui Qianqiu said nothing more, his figure turning like a swimming dragon or a dancing phoenix, with streaks of golden rosy light blooming.

His eyes were bright and clear; no matter who looked into them, they felt that in an instant, their entire being had been seen through.

No matter what action one intended to take, Shui Qianqiu could perceive it a step ahead and make a countermeasure.

As for Bai Yuxia, she vanished the moment she used her power, hiding and lying dormant on the World Yin Side.

No method or means could harm her, because she was not currently in this world at all, but in a peculiar space.

Unless a powerful expert mastered a Yin Law stronger than hers, any moves or means used against her would be ineffective, let alone harming her.

While hiding on the World Yin Side, she could not harm others either, but she could accumulate power and appear for a single strike at the necessary moment.

The three practiced the Array carefully; they were not yet highly proficient, but they had basically mastered it.

Days passed one by one, and in Chen Mo's perception, the other Heavenly Court Fragment drew closer and closer, until it truly approached the Xuantian World.
